How many Super Bowls did John Elway win with the assortment of free agent RB's that Denver had?

While I agree with your assessment of not spending on elite backs, there are some things we disagree about in running verse not running the ball.

Personally, draft your backs, use them through the RFA and if you can re-ink them decently.. into their first renewal. Then move on.

I would not ship picks, I guess nothing higher than a 6th or 7th for either. And neither are going to be moved for that. Moot point. BTW.. Charles is signed for under 3.5 through 2014.. 6.5 in 2015.

We have a pretty good situation right. A good veteran back, very little money and young backs to develop and learn from him. An elite back would be really great, but who do we give up to have him? Lynch, for example, would be great right now but could we sign next years players whose contract come up? As I understand it we will have trouble as it is.

Chris Johnson has as many rushing yards as Aaron Rodgers this year. Yet you want to give up a 1st and 3rd rounder and give him 10 million dollars... I'll have to pass on that notion.

I say we don't need another back. Benson will pick it up and yes i am not worried about it. People seem to forget he came in during the preseason, so he is still getting into playing shape.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I am not opposed to a stud RB. I just don't want to spend any picks on another team's castoffs. Either use a low pick in the draft or cheap free agents. Then develop. Then repeat when their contract is up. Essentially what you said.

Beyond that, we need to effectively run the ball to set up the passing game. We don't need big $$$ tied up in what is essentially an opening act. Save the money for the big show.

Merriman said that he wants to continue his career, but only with a team that wants him to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme after washing out as a defensive end with the Bills.



Is he better than Walden and/or Moses?

In my opinion, no. 32 teams have thus far agreed that he offers little. He is older than either Walden or Moses. Doesn't have their familiarity with our team. Clearly has injury issues. So no.
